New moon dance for Guruwal (Whale) as she leads her children South
"...On the evening of August 21, 2020, I stood on rocks at Mystery Bay, new South Wales. I stood with my partner beneath Guluga, the sacred mountain of the Yuin people. We came with technology to share with Gadu (Ocean) and Guruwal (Whale), some recordings of dance, song, music and poetry, to mark this start of Guruwal's journey South with her children, to feed on Euphausia superba (Antarctic krill).
Dance, song, music and poetry is inspired by the complex choreography of the Global Ocean's continuous transformation from clockwise motion around Antarctica, with the Circumpolar Current spiralling upwards and outwards through the tropics, and dancing northward anti-clockwise through the Arctic."
Lisa Roberts, August 2020
